This should not be necessary.

It was my understanding that after the set to the csr, that we would end the
TB.  That's certainly what I see in RISCV_OP_CSR_POST.

The next TB will begin wiht ctx->frm = -1, so we will reset the rounding mode
with 7.  It would be good to understand what's really going on here.
